In short: Thanks for a great well organised race.In full: Wasn't sure what this would be like - not so much hilly as really draggy, lots of long slow hauls, followed by another one, and another one. How can a circular route be uphill all the way? Nice scenery, nice marshalls, good atmosphere, nice tech t-shirt, shame about the bananas but hey nothing is perfect! Will be back to do this one again next year. Date of review: July 11, 2010

In short: Well organised, marshalls were great. Good mix of flat and undulating. In full: Thanks to Abbey Runners for a really good race. The marshalls were excellent - very chirpy and really kept you going in the not so flat bits!Date of review: July 16, 2009

In short: Tougher than I anticipatedIn full: But a really good course. Very scenic and the inclines were never too much but I did expect it to be a bit flatter. No matter, I'll be more prepared for next year. Good finish...funny how an inflatable arch makes it feel like an real event! Great support from marshals, plenty of water around the course and at the end and useful rucksack that will actually get used!Date of review: July 14, 2009

In short: Harder than I remembered!In full: Very well organised & well marshalled race. The route is undulating with quite a tough final third. Nice souvenir. Plenty of water stops which were needed today! Thanks to Abbey Runners.Date of review: July 12, 2009
